Cabinet shall provide airflows & biological safety performance as specified.**a. Cabinet shall provide biological containment protection for both operator and product proven by anactual test, (e.g. test conducted by NSF) and routinely validated by <strong>NuAire</strong>.*b. Cabinet shall be constructed from 16GA, Type 304 stainless steel forming an all welded,monolithic, sealed structure.c. Cabinet shall be easily fumigated employing an established procedure such as that recommended byNSF.d. Supply HEPA filter shall be of full cabinet work zone width and depth; work zone below supplyHEPA shall be of fixed cross-sectional area (sloping back wall or viewing window is unacceptable).*e. Supply HEPA filter shall be protected by a perforated metal diffuser covering the entire top of thework zone.*f. Air Velocity from the supply filter shall average 55 to 65 FPM (.28 to .33 m/s) with no single pointoutside the 20% of average range measured in a horizontal plane defined by 4 inches (102mm)above the bottom edge of window.*g. Work access opening shall be 10 inches (254mm) high (8 inches (203mm) on NU-440-300).Average inflow velocity shall nominally be 105 LFPM (.53 m/s).PROCESS # 9-1181 PG 1-4REV 1 5/09
*3. The cabinet shall be ergonomically designed for maximum user comfort and adjustability to meet therequirements of the American Disabilities Act (ADA.)• Standard non-metallic armrest/airfoil incorporating large 1-1/2 inch (38mm) forearm support area with1/2 inch (12mm) recessed front grill designed for armrest comfort while maintaining containmentperformance.• Maximum visibility into cabinet workzone shall be at least 22-1/4 inches (565mm) from front accessairfoil to exterior light housing.• Cabinet shall have a centrally located instrument panel within the control center that is easily servicedwith quick disconnects.• Cabinet shall have the capability of incorporating a user adjustable base stand or base storage cabinet asan option.• The cabinet shall have a smooth operating sliding window from full closure to full opening at19-1/2 inches (495mm).• Cabinet shall have a large worktray (17.250 inch (438mm) depth) removable with coved corners for easycleaning.*4. The cabinet shall have all positive pressure plenums surrounded by a vacuum relative to the room (theLABGARD employs the HEPEX Zero Leak Airflow System).5. Electrical power shall be supplied with a 12 foot (2.5m), 3-wire cord with molded plug. Electrical supplyshould be 115 VAC, 60 Hz (current rating varies per cabinet size, reference Electrical Requirements Page4) protected with thermal circuit breaker from distribution panel.*6. The cabinet shall use a DC ECM Motor with an optimally determined forward-curved fan for each modelsize/width to maximize both energy efficiency and filter loading capacity.7. The cabinet shall have two internal electrical circuits; one for blower/lights and one for the duplex outlets.Each circuit shall be protected with a circuit breaker located in the Control Center.8. The cabinet shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories to meet the requirements of both the U.S. andCanada for electrical/mechanical integrity.*9. Total cabinet airflow shall be controlled via a solid-state DC Motor Controller that provides automaticcompensation (constant volume control) for both filter loading and line voltage variances.10. Balancing of cabinet workzone downflow (recycling flow) to exhaust flow shall be accomplished with aninternal exhaust flow damper, externally adjustable with screwdriver and sealed with liquid tight fastener.11. The cabinet shall be easily transportable through a standard 36 inch (914mm) wide door withoutdisassembly.12. Sound level shall be no more than 60 dbA measured 15 inches (381mm) above the work tray and 12 inches(305mm) in front of viewing window.*13. Fluorescent lighting shall be externally mounted and provide greater than 100 (1076) foot-candles (LUX)on work surface. Fluorescent lamps shall be T8 for energy efficiency, low replacement cost and wideavailability. The ballast is to be electronic containing thermal protection with automatic reset.*14. Cabinet shall have a minihelic gauge to display pressure drop over the supply HEPA filter.PROCESS # 9-1181REV 1 5/09 2
*15. Cabinets shall come standard with two outlets with drip proof covers on back wall (one outlet forNU-425-300); one gas valve/service coupling on right side wall; one service coupling on right side wall.16.

A 3/8 inch (10 mm) ball valve shall be provided in the drain trough beneath the work tray.*19. Cabinet shall have the capability of incorporating a permanent positive pressure plenum with quick releasesupply filter removal as an option.*20. Motor/blower shall be positioned so as to create an even filter loading, thereby prolonging the life of HEPAfilters, automatically handling a 250% minimum increase in filter loading without reducing total airdelivery by more than 10%.*21. Cabinet shall be capable of front filter removal without disassembly of the control panel and slidingwindow tracks/hardware. HEPA filters shall be 99.99% efficient on 0.3 micron size particles by PAO test.22.
